‘Settlers are not migrants’ … Laura Madokoro, ‘Peril and possibility: A contemplation of the current state of migration history and settler colonial studies in Canada’, History Compass, 2018

25Nov18

Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the trajectory of research on immigration history, now migration history, in Canada over the past 50 years and highlights recent points of intersection with the newly established field of settler colonial studies. The article concludes by positing questions about the possibility of building on these points of intersection and dissension in future research in these fields.
